TFKE30 Analytical Chemistry, ECTS-points
/ANALYTISK KEMI/

Advancement level:
C

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give fundamental knowledge about modern instrumental analytical techniques and to show how these methods can be used for the identification and quantification of elements and compounds in complex samples.
